The Seven (7) Stages To Realize Your Life Dreams

Stage 1. Dream

If you are going to
make your dreams come true, then begin by having those dreams. Dreams are
wonderful things. They can be anything you want. They can reach out to places
you have never been. They can give you possessions you never thought you would
ever have. Do not be timid and limit your dreams. If you can imagine the dream,
then you have taken the first step toward making that dream come true.

Stop reading for a
moment and get comfortable. First close your eyes and, visualize what you want
to become, where you want to be. Imagine the life-style you want to enjoy, and
then with your eyes still closed, Believe
you can make it happen if... if you are willing to Earn your dreams. You can be in complete control of this
visualization. You can make this process easy by cutting out pictures of a car
and a home you would like to own. Finally, visualize the places you would like
to visit and the clothes you would like to wear driving that new car, going to
those places. Cut them out; stick them up where you will see them during your
day and then, most important, picture yourself as having already achieved your
specific dreams. Smell the leather in your new car, feel the fabrics of that
new outfit, and taste that meal you are having in a sidewalk cafe in that
country you will be visiting.

Stage 2. Want It!

It begins with your
dream, but that is not enough. You have to Want It! Want it badly enough to be willing
to put forth the effort requiredto
make your dream happen! Make your dreams a constant in yourdaily life.

Stage 3. Set The Date - Write It Down

A little pressure is a
strong motivator. When is that new car coming out? Okay. That is your date for
the car. Write It Down!Think
that is silly? Guess what? In a recent national survey only 5% of the
population took the trouble of writing down their goals. Strangely enough only
5% of the population is financially secure. Coincidence? We do not think so.
Those 5% took simple steps toward making their dreams come true. They wrote
them down every day where they could usually see and read them. It is such an
easy thing to do, and while you’re doing it, you will become 100% focused on
your dream, your goals, and your dates. Little by little, your ability to focus
will expand and grow stronger, especially when you see the fruits of your
efforts becoming reality.

Be realistic and specificabout your goals. Dream as much as you would like, but maintain
a sense of reality. For example, if your dream is to have lots of money, then
begin by establishing short-term achievable goals. While we want to encourage
you to reach out, try to keep one foot on the ground, okay? Remember . . . Write
It Down!

Stage 4. Plan

Dreaming about it is
the first step, and making a plan to realize that dream is the next. What,
exactly, is it going to take to make your dreams come true? Once you have the
answer to this question, you will be on your way.

Stage 5. Believe

Belief is a key part
of your new self-image. You must Believein your dreams, your goals and, most important of all, in
yourself. This is another unmistakable truth. If you do not believe in
yourself, who will? Once you display self-confidence, it is going to show, and
others will also start believing in you. By believing in yourself, you begin a
wonderful cycle that just keeps on growing, and growing, and growing.

Stage 6. Do It Now!

Your dream progresses
next to vital steps in the process of remembering; that of setting goals, and
planning how to attain them . . . Do It! Take that first step, no matter how small and insignificant it
may seem to you now. You will soon come to realize that first step was a giant
one. You Did It! You took command of
yourself and of the situation. It might be something as simple as ABC. The
first time you walk up to someone and inform him or her about your company, and
your products, you are succeeding.

Take it for granted
you will succeed. Why shouldn’t you? The products you will be talking about are
exciting. You are doing the talking and of course you believe in yourself as
well! So under those conditions, how can you possibly fail? Assume success!
Take it for granted! Be enthusiastic! Radiate positive energy. Self-belief
is contagious. Who would you like to spend time with? The person filled with
self-doubts with a negative point-of-view, or the individual who knows where he
or she is going and wants to share their excitement about the joy of living
with you? Not much of a choice, is it?

Discipline Yourself! With no one around to instruct you what to
do, or how to do it, that responsibility is now yours. Accept it. Know you can
handle it. Do what needs doing, when it needs doing.

Get Rid Of Negative Influences! We shouldn’t have to
tell you this, but it is amazing how many people hang on to negative
surroundings, poor work habits, neglect their own health and maintain negative
relationships. Why, for heaven’s sake? All that can come from a negative
situation is a negative result. So begin now. How about giving those old
clothes you never wear to a charity. The charity will feel good and so will
you. The principle of giving, remember? Go ahead; get rid of that unhealthy
food while you are at it. By eliminating things you do not need, things that
are not healthy, you make room for what you do need, and things that are good
for you.

Stage 7. Achievement

The first goal you
achieve is the result of your personal efforts. We know the feeling. You are
going to love it! You got here because you had the dream, planned, believed,
worked, shared, had fun, gave of yourself, Did It! Here comes the best part. You can
keep doing it. Dream a little bigger this time and begin the whole, wonderful
process all over!
